J  &  D  Suggestions 


ARGUMENT  is  no  longer  required  to  convince  one  in  control  of  property  of  the  desir¬ 
ability  of  a  proper  coating  of  paint  on  any  building  which  is  not  at  the  time  properly 
protected.  The  question,  however,  frequently  arises  as  to  what  are  the  most  suitable  colors 
and  what  is  the  most  pleasing  combination  of  shades  to  use. 

This  little  book  of  suggestions  has  been  gotten  up  in  response  to  this  demand,  and  we 
trust  the  suggestions  herein  will  prove  of  value  to  our  many  friends  and  customers. 

In  the  selection  of  the  houses,  we  have  aimed  at  securing  what  we  think  would  represent 
the  average  country  and  city  home,  rather  than  the  selection  of  the  palatial  residence  that 
would  make  a  pretty  picture,  which  does  not  of  itself  offer  any  suggestions  that  would  be 
of  service. 

By  consulting  our  color  card  it  will  be  seen  that  many  color  schemes  can  be  selected 
equally  as  attractive  as  those  shown  herein.  If  the  color  schemes  or  suggestions  offered 
herein  do  not  meet  your  requirements,  we  would  be  pleased  to  have  you  address  our  Art 
Department,  giving  them  a  general  description  of  the  house  or  building  to  be  painted  and, 
they  will  be  pleased  to  submit  special  suggestions  or  color  schemes  peculiarly  fitted  for  the 
conditions  given.

SATISFACTORY  RESULTS  in  the  application  of  any  finish  is  secured  only  by  following 
closely  the  directions  given.  These  directions  are  the  result  of  many  years  of  experience 
and  close  observation  and  attention  should  be  paid  to  them.  For  these  directions  and  point¬ 
ers  relative  to  any  of  our  finishes,  we  refer  you  to  our  color  cards. 

For  high-class  work  and  where  special  conditions  are  to  be  met,  we  recommend  the 
employment  of  a  practical  painter.  His  years  of  experience  will  indicate  how  particular  sur¬ 
faces  should  be  treated  in  order  to  secure  the  most  pleasing  and  satisfactory  results. 

By  following  closely  these  simple  directions  and  pointers,  the  result  will  be  a  source  of 
satisfaction  to  you  and  a  credit  to  us.

J  &  D  Liquid  Pulufs 


WE  FEEL  that  a  reference  to  the  superlative  merits  of  J  &  D  Liquid  Paint  is  almost  imper¬ 
ative  in  connection  with  this  book  of  schemes. 

Any  decorative  effect  of  paint  is  of  little  value  unless  accompanied  by  those  qualities 
that  bespeak  durability,  covering  capacity  and  wood  preservation.  We  have  no  hesitancy  in 
claiming  that  J  &  D  Paint  has  these  qualities  in  the  highest  degree.  The  combination  of  White 
Lead  and  Zinc,  thoroughly  ground  in  Pure  Linseed  Oil,  under  expert  supervision,  has  provided 
in  J  &  D  Paint  a  protective  coating  that  has  successfully  withstood  any  test  imposed  by  the 
climate  of  the  Northwest. 

Realizing  that  we  could  not  expect  to  secure  and  maintain  the  confidence  of  the  dealer 
and  consumer  except  by  offering  the  best  that  the  art  of  paint  making  could  produce,  we  have 
no  hesitancy  in  offering  J  &  D  Liquid  Paint  to  the  most  exacting.

J  &  D  Shingle  Stains 

Complete  Your  House 


^SIDE  from  the  preservative  effect  of  a  properly  prepared  stain  on  shingles,  the  decorative 

effect  amply  repays  the  expense  involved  and  materially  increases  the  sale  value  of  a 
property.  J  &  D  Shingle  Stains  perform  this  dual  function  in  an  ideal  manner. 

We  have  utilized  enough  Wood  Creosote  to  obtain  the  penetrating  and  wood  tanning 
result  distinctive  of  this  product,  in  combination  with  Pure  Linseed  Oil,  which,  while  temper¬ 
ing  the  caustic  effect  of  the  Creosote  on  the  tinting  colors  used,  thereby  affording  permanent 
shades,  still  retains  its  property  of  oxidizing  into  a  film,  practically  a  subsurfacing  film,  in 
the  pores  of  the  rough  shingles  or  undressed  lumber,  turning  water  perfectly,  and  avoiding 
the  transverse  ridges  across  the  interstices,  which  are  an  objection  to  a  surface  or  paint  coat¬ 
ing  on  shingles. 

J  &  D  Shingle  Stains  prevent  dry  rot  and  materially  lengthen  the  life  of  the  roof. 

J  &  D  Shingle  Stain  colors  are  permanent. 

J  &  D  Shingle  Stains  are  made  in  soft,  velvety  tones,  contrasting  harmoniously  with  the 
natural  colors  of  surrounding  vegetation.

J  &  D  Dulltone 


~~)  ECENT  usage  for  Interior  Decoration  in  modern  houses  has  turned  largely  from  water 
-L  v.  colors  for  the  plastered  walls  to  Flat  Wall  Finishes,  and  J  &  D  Dulltone  is  one  of  the 
finest  examples  of  this  material  that  has  been  produced. 

J  &  D  Dulltone  is  ground  in  a  varnish  vehicle,  giving  it  a  permanent  finish,  impervious  to 
injuries  from  water,  from  rubbing  or  from  contact  with  furniture,  which  so  easily  effect 
water  color  finishes. 

Dulltone  is  durable,  sanitary,  washable,  and  is  put  up  in  shades  to  meet  the  most  critical 
demands  for  harmonious  interior  decoration. 

The  following  are  color  scheme  suggestions  for  different  rooms,  which  are  shown  merely 
to  give  you  an  idea  of  the  possibilities  of  Dulltone  decoration.  The  range  of  application  and 
color  combinations  is  limited  only  by  special  conditions  and  individual  tastes.

The  Living  Room 


TS  INTENDED  for  a  harmony  in  sienna  tones.  The  colors  would  be  suitable  with  almost  any 
interior  trim,  except  perhaps  mahogany,  and  with  any  finish  in  oak  furniture  from  the  dark 
green  stained  to  the  light  fumed. 

The  walls  show  Dulltone  No.  13;  the  frieze  shows  Dulltone  No.  2  and  the  ceiling  White. 

J  &  D  Oil  Stain,  in  Royal  Brown  or  Walnut,  on  the  woodwork,  would  give  effect  shown 
if  used  on  new  wood. 

A  dull  finish,  on  both  furniture  and  woodwork,  is  most  desirable,  and  is  obtained  by  the 
use  of  wax,  flat  varnish,  or  rubbing  a  gloss  varnish.

The  Dining  Room 


SHOWN  OPPOSITE,  is  planned  for  connection  with  the  living  room,  and  consequently 
is  shown  in  Olive  Green  No.  1  1 ,  Crimson  No.  I  4,  Buff  No.  3,  with  the  same  color  wood¬ 
work  as  the  former  room. 

While  it  harmonizes  with  the  living  room,  the  general  effect  is  lighter  (  which  is  desira¬ 
ble)  and  we  believe  this  color  scheme  affords  a  cheerful,  animated  setting,  which  is  much 
to  be  desired. 

Browns,  tans  and  creams  are  popular  colors  for  Living  and  Dining  Rooms,  but  an 
examination  of  our  color  card  will  indicate  many  pleasing  and  artistic  combinations,  among 
these  we  can  recommend  for  the  walls  Dulltone  Tint  No.  3,  Dado  No.  2,  and  white  for 
the  ceiling. 

Our  Art  Department  will  furnish  free  of  charge  special  color  schemes,  designed  to 
meet  any  special  conditions. 

We  will  make  up  special  shades  to  fit  any  requirement;  orders,  however,  for  less  than 
ten  gallons  take  a  higher  price.

The  Bedroom 


GOOD  TASTE  and  surroundings  conducive  of  repose  are  essential  in  a  Bedroom,  and 
we  believe  the  scheme  submitted  meets  these  requirements. 

We  show  this  room,  with  woodwork,  in  the  color  of  White  Enamel.  The  colors  in 
Dulltone  would  be  equally  suitable  with  any  shade  of  Brown  or  Deep  Mahogany  on  the 
trim. 

The  suggestions  in  this  room  are  for  use  in  the  interiors  of  old  as  well  as  new  buildings. 
In  the  case  of  old  buildings,  individual  judgment  will  have  to  determine  the  harmony 
between  our  wall  schemes  and  the  old  woodwork,  which  it  is  generally  difficult  to  change, 
but  in  new  buildings  our  plans  for  both  walls  and  woodwork  will  be  found  appropriate.

Tie  Kitchen 


ALL  the  requirements  of  a  high-grade  Wall  or  Interior  Finish  are  needed  in  this  very 
important  room.  It  must  be  sanitary,  clean,  impervious  to  steam,  gas,  etc.,  and  wash¬ 
able  without  affecting  the  finish. 

J  &  D  Dulltone  provides  all  of  these  qualifications  as  well  as  furnishing  the  white  and 
delicate  tints  so  desired. 

The  Dulltone  and  White  Enamel  suggestions  shown  opposite  we  think  provides  an 
ideal  combination  for  this  room.  This,  of  course,  may  be  varied  to  meet  the  conditions 
of  light,  space,  etc. 

J  &  D  Interior  Enamels,  in  Pure  White  or  Tints,  provide  a  perfect  finish  on  woodwork 
in  kitchens  or  bedrooms  or  any  surface  where  an  enamel  finish  is  desired.

J  &  id  Oil  Stains 

(WIPE  STAINS) 

Improve  Natural  Woods 

]\JOT  EVERY  ONE  can  have  a  home  trimmed  in  natural  oak,  mahogany,  Circassian  walnut 
x  '  or  the  other  high-priced  woods  which  finish  perfectly  in  their  natural  wood  colors.  The 
adaptability  of  fir,  western  pine,  larch  and  other  native  woods  to  this  purpose,  due  to  their 
beautiful  grain,  susceptibility  of  fine  surfacing  and  effective  staining  to  represent  the  higher 
priced  woods,  has  resulted  in  their  extensive  use  for  interior  trim  and  a  demand  for  a  prac¬ 
tical  Stain  for  these  woods,  which  do  not  develop  their  full  beauty  with  either  a  "dye"  or  an 
ordinary  "oil  stain". 

J  &  D  Oil  Stains  are  the  culmination  of  many  years  of  experience  in  catering  to 
this  demand.  We  wish  to  emphasize  their  distinctive  value  for  finishing  western  woods,  such 
as  slash  grained  fir.  This  wood  does  not  respond  well  to  treatment  with  ordinary  stains  on 
account  of  the  large  content  of  pitch  and  rosin,  and  J  &  D  Stains,  if  properly  applied,  will 
be  found  absolutely  the  most  satisfactory.  J  &  D  Stains  are  easily  applied. 

J  &  D  Oil  Stains  have  sufficient  penetration  and  at  the  same  time  set  slowly,  permitting 
"equalization"  or  uniform  effect  on  contiguous  boards  of  different  texture.  J  &  D  Oil  Stain 
shades  are  permanent,  even  in  the  colors  ordinarily  fugitive,  like  our  No.  88  Green. 

Best  results  are  secured  by  applying  a  light  coat  of  Shellac  over  the  stain  and  then  finish¬ 
ing  by  one  or  two  coats  of  J  &  D  Best  Interior  Varnish  or  Flat  Varnish  or  polishing  with 
J  &  D  Wax,  according  to  the  nature  of  the  finish  desired.
